Amritsar-based Amandeep Hospitals, in collaboration with Ujala Cygnus, has inaugurated North India’s first hospital-based 3D Printing and Virtual Reality Technology facility — a pioneering step that positions Amritsar as a regional hub for precision surgery and advanced medical innovation. The facility was officially launched by Dr. Abhijat Sheth, Chairman of the National Medical Commission, underscoring the growing institutional support for next-generation healthcare technologies.
With this milestone, Amandeep Hospitals joins an elite group of Indian institutions successfully incorporating 3D printing into day-to-day clinical workflows. Surgeons at the hospital can now design and produce patient-specific anatomical models, surgical guides, and custom implants for complex orthopedic, trauma, spine, maxillofacial, and reconstructive procedures — all within the hospital and on demand.
By integrating 3D printing and virtual reality, clinicians can plan surgeries using lifelike anatomical replicas, optimize joint replacements and deformity corrections with custom jigs, and create personalized implants with millimeter precision. The technology also expands opportunities for medical training, surgical simulation, and education, while significantly reducing operating time and enhancing surgical accuracy.
“This marks a major leap toward precision-driven healthcare,” said Dr. Avtar Singh, Chairperson of Orthopaedics at Amandeep Ujala Hospitals. “Having in-house 3D printing allows us to plan even the most intricate surgeries with unparalleled accuracy, minimize risks, and achieve better outcomes for our patients.”
Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Abhijat Sheth added that integrating 3D printing technology within hospitals represents “a major advance in modernizing India’s healthcare infrastructure,” contributing to improved outcomes and efficiency in surgical procedures.
The initiative reinforces Amandeep Hospitals’ reputation — along with Ujala Cygnus — as a leader in advanced orthopedics, trauma care, robotics, and AI-based diagnostics. Together, the group currently operates over 750 beds, employs 170+ specialists across six locations, and has treated more than 2.5 million patients to date.
